About Chart Applets

A chart applet is a type of applet that graphically displays data from a business component in various formats that allow the user to analyze trends, compare categories, and examine other relationships in the data. Note the following about charts:

You can include any data in a business component in a chart. Aggregated data based on period, multiple attributes, a particular attribute, multiple value fields, a selected record, calculated field or ranges can all be displayed in chart format.
The data in a chart applet reflects the current query for the business component. The following aggregated functions are supported when building your query: MIN, MAX, SUM, AVG, COUNT, and GROUPBY.
You can click in the chart to update it with modifications to the query.
The JavaScript D3.js (Data Driven Documents) charting engine renders charts in the UI.
